Another sad update I hate to bring you: Katrina (Nalevac) Smith missing Machesne
y Park, Illinois woman found deceased. Rest in Peace Katrina. No word yet on cause of death.
Breaking News: Police: The woman found dead in the Rock River has been identified as Katrina Smith who has been missing since last month. SOURCE:http://www.facebook.com/
Shortly after noon Friday an off duty Byron fire fighter was fishing in the waters just south of the city of Byron, when "he believed that he located a body on the Rock River," said Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn.
Harn says his department along with the Byron Fire Department responded to a stretch of the Rock River near Route 2 and Townline Road, and pulled a body out of the water that had be caught on this log.
"It appears it's been in the water for a period of time, to what extent I can't tell you," said Harn.
Harn says the body had begun to decompose and was covered in Algae, and he believes it is that of a white female.
Harn says the woman's body was found without pants, and that her clothing had deteriorated so much they couldn't distinguish a color.
"It's a little decomposed, but I think that were going to be able to positively I.D. her," said Harn.
At this point Harn can't say how the body got there or how the woman might have died, nor did he see any trauma marks on her body.
About 1:30 p.m., an off-duty firefighter fishing in the river saw the body ensnared in a tree about 65 yards north of an Illinois Department of Transportation boat ramp and about 65 yards into the river.
